More than 100 miners were trapped underground after a pillar collapsed at the Lily Mine in Barberton, Mpumalanga on Friday 5 February 2016. About 70 of the miners were later rescued and transported to hospital for treatment and observation.

Three miners are still trapped underground following the collapse of a pillar that resulted in over a hundred miners being trapped inside Lily Gold Mine near Barberton this morning.

The Department of Mineral Resources said mine rescue services were in the process of locating and assisting the trapped workers. They have been underground since 8am.

Earlier today, Minister Mosebenzi Zwane expressed concern that the mining industry experienced such a serious incident so early in the year.

Mike Begg, operations director at the mine, said the miners were trapped following collapse of lamp room — the “last stop” before miners are being lowered underground Barberton Times reported.

A service ground pillar had collapsed at the top of the mine where a building is situated, Begg said. The pillar blocked the main portal blocking miners from exiting through the main entrance.

On December 5 2015 I gave this prophetic warning concerning a bombing in Istanbul Turkey.

The Prophecy said the following:

Early this morning while praying I saw a vision of a bombing happening in Istanbul Turkey.

The bombing happened at a place like a compound or consulate with an American flag. I am not sure if it resembles an army compound but it looked like an American instalation. It might also be a well known tourist destination.

Istanbul (CNN)The suicide bomber who killed at least 10 foreigners Tuesday in a popular central Istanbul tourist area belonged to ISIS, officials said — an attack that shows the group’s nerve, reach and capacity for terror.

No group claimed responsibility for the blast, yet Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu pinned blame on the group that calls itself the Islamic State, which has entrenched itself in neighboring Syria and Iraq while proving willing time and again to lash out elsewhere.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – A suicide bomber thought to have crossed recently from Syria killed at least 10 people, most of them German tourists, in Istanbul’s historic heart on Tuesday, in an attack Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu blamed on Islamic State.

All of those killed in Sultanahmet square, near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia – major tourist sites in the center of one of the world’s most visited cities – were foreigners, Davutoglu said. A senior Turkish official said nine were German, while Peru’s foreign ministry said a Peruvian man also died.

Twitter hashtag #ZumaMustFallMarch was trending at number one in South Africa on Wednesday (16 December) as thousands took to the streets to demand that President Jacob Zuma resign from his post. The ANC, Zuma’s ruling political party, has come out in defence of the president.

The anti-Zuma protest was led by the Unite Against Corruption group, who also led the#FeesMustFall campaign in October. People in Pretoria, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg took to the streets, insisting thatcorruption has worsened in South Africa since Zuma came to power in 2009. The march coincides with the public holiday, Day of Reconciliation, which is to encourage national unity.

News24:New Burkina Faso president vows new beginning. Ouagadougou – Burkina Faso’s president in waiting Roch Marc Kabore vowed a brighter future for the west African country Tuesday after becoming its first newly-elected leader in three decades.

Kabore won 53.49% of ballots in Sunday’s poll, winning victory in the first round of a vote to restore stability after a popular revolt toppled longtime leader Blaise Compaore just over a year go.

“We must get to work immediately,” 58-year-old Kabore, a former Compaore stalwart who served as his prime minister but broke ranks months before his downfall, told several thousand supporters in the early hours of Tuesday.

From afar, Botswana’s diamond mines look like barren construction sites sunk into rocky hills. At their base, hulking excavation machines turn over what appear to be nothing more than piles of dirt.

Yet within this “rubble” are some of the world’s most valuable precious stones — including, as of this week, a 1,111-carat diamond.

Lucara Diamond Corporation, a diamond producer based in Vancouver, announced this week the discovery of the largest diamond found in more than a century. The stone, which is the size of a human palm, was recovered from the Karowe Mine in Botswana.

In known history, the find is second only to the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, which produced several stones in the British Crown Jewels.

Shares in Lucara soared by as much as 37 percent Friday upon news of the historic diamond’s discovery, the Globe and Mail reports, increasing the value of the company by $150 million. While Lucara had previously suffered losses of 26 percent this year, CNN Money said these were all but cancelled out with Friday’s standout gains.

The week’s good fortune also included the discovery of two more “exceptional” white diamonds, an 813-carat stone and a 374-carat stone.

“I am truly at a loss for words,” Lucara president and CEO William Lamb said in a statement. He said the larger of the other two stones is the sixth largest gem quality diamond ever mined.

There hasn’t yet been a price evaluation on the 1,111-carat stone, which will likely be assessed at the world’s largest diamond processing center in Antwerp, Belgium.

Today, 05:49 AM AFP
Abuja – A new regional force tasked with fighting Boko Haram jihadists should go into action very soon, Nigeria’s military spokesperson told AFP on Tuesday, though he did not specify when for tactical reasons.

The Multi-National Joint Task Force will replace a regional offensive that has scored a number of victories against the Nigeria-based militants since February.

But Boko Haram has stepped up its attacks since Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in in May, unleashing a wave of violence that has claimed 800 lives in just two months.

The 8 700-strong force is expected to be more efficient than the current offensive, which is battling a six-year insurgency that has killed some 15 000 people.

“Any moment from now, the operations or the Task Force will be manifest. In other words, we may not tell you [when it will commence], you will just see it,” Nigeria’s military spokesperson Major General Chris Olukolade told AFP.

“The mission has been sectorised, various sector commanders have been briefed, the briefing is ongoing at different levels… the aspect of the Nigerian force that will be part of the Multinational Joint Task Force has been designated,” Olukolade added.

The force will have its headquarters in Cameroonian capital N’Djamena, which the Nigerian president will visit starting on Wednesday for talks on the offensive.

Few details have emerged on the specific nature of the new force, raising concerns its deployment may face delays.

The Nigerian general who had initially been named to lead the force, Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has since been appointed Chief of Staff of Nigeria’s military.

No one has been nominated to replace him as yet.

On Page 76 of the GOD SAID 2015 the following Prophetic word was released concerning Boko Haram in Nigeria was released.

Mercenaries from South Africa have proved quietly decisive in helping the Nigerian military turn around its campaign against Boko Haram, writes Colin Freeman in Abuja

With their roots in South Africa apartheid-era security forces, they do not fit the standard image of an army of liberation. But after just three months on the ground, a squad of grizzled, ageing white mercenaries have helped to end Boko Haram’s six-long year reign of terror in northern Nigeria.

Run by Colonel Eeben Barlow, a former commander in the South African Defence Force, the group of bush warfare experts were recruited in top secrecy in January to train an elite strike group within Nigeria’s disorganised, demoralised army.

Some of the guns-for-hire cut their teeth in South Africa’s border wars 30 years ago. But their formidable fighting skills – backed by their own helicopter pilots flying combat missions – have proved decisive in helping the military turn around its campaign againstBoko Haram in its north-eastern strongholds.

The Islamists have now fled many of the towns they once controlled, leading to the freeing of hundreds of girls and women last week who were used by Boko Haram as slaves and bush wives.

ORIGINAL PROPHECY AUGUST 2014- NEW DISCOVERIES New mineral discoveries will take place in the more remote areas of SA, especially in the Northern Cape and Eastern Cape in the next 5 to 10 years. New towns will develop in these areas because of these discoveries. Areas that did not seem to be economically active before will become extremely active due to these new discoveries. The discoveries will open up a whole new era regarding specific mineral and resource deposits found in SA. The rest of the world was previously completely unaware of these
mineral deposits. The new developments will introduce a whole new spectrum of mining that has not been practised in SA to any great extent before. The world’s attention will be on these new rich fields in SA. It seems that a lot of international companies wish to leave SA, but secretly many of them are discovering new mineral and resource possibilities in SA. These international companies are secretly planning to increase their activities in SA. Thus the mining industry will see positive development in SA in the future. There will be a few years of uncertainty. Many of these international companies will make use of this uncertainty to discourage the general population and other companies to become involved with the aim to lead them into letting their resources go and to let go of their involvement in SA, so that the international companies can pick it up in secret.

VEDANTA, in conjunction with its subsidiary Zink International, opened its new $782m zinc mining operation in the Northern Cape on Monday with the mine’s first blast on the Gamsberg mountain.

The group plans to turn the Southern African region into one of the most important suppliers of zinc globally through the Gamsberg project, said a Vedanta media statement.

The open pit zinc mine is going to generate 500 jobs for the adjacent mining town of Aggeneys which has a population of 3,000.

The mine is also expected to yield 1.7-million tonnes of hoisted ore per year and another 90kt per annum metal in concentrate, said Zink International CEO Deshnee Naidoo at a lunch after the blasting ceremony attended by the media, government, and stakeholders.
